(If you're not sure, copy the contents of /etc/network/interfaces in a reply.) It sounds like the PC is booting with the wrong config - to the point where it cannot find the network connection. Follow Robin's advice and isolate *which* components of the network are still working before you reboot the router. Check the boot messages for DHCP commands which may be overriding your config. Also, check /etc/resolv.conf which may have been overwritten. This would make it hard to locate local devices and could disable DNS resolution if the local nameserver cannot be found. If you set your local DNS on the router, the IP address of the router should be your nameserver. If you run bind on the PC, the nameserver IP should be the static IP of the PC. Final thing to check is '# route'. The PC should have a default gateway which in turn can access the internet, so it's usually the router. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
